I’d love to see widespread car sharing with vehicles like these in the US. Suburbs can’t reduce car dependency without tools like car share to bridge the gap until other options improve.

I was in SF recently for a friend's wedding in Marin and rented a little Chevy EV just for a weekend because I wanted to test out the experience. It was STILL nerveracking and impossible to find a rapid charger, and I STILL ended up spending 45 minutes in a whole foods parking lot at 1am in Mill Valley. You'd think in 2025 it'd be easier by now. Compared to China, it's comical how the tech capital of the world can't get this right.
